55 gallon Stocking ideas?

[Psylk87]

Hello,

I recently got a 55 gallon tnak. I want to set it up this spring/summer. I am hoping for some fish stocking ideas for it. I want it to be a peaceful community tank. It will most likely be live planted. I have never had such a big tnak so I havnet been able to plan one out like this so would really appreciate recs.

Please add the number of each type of fish like I said I have never had a tank so big and I don't want to over stock it but I dont really knwo its stocking abilities.

I know I want 2 Angelfish.
I also know I want a school of about 6 Emperor Tetras.

Please rec stuff that would go well with them. Inlcuding interesting bottom dwellers. Please keep the list sort of common and easy to get as I only have a Petco close.

Oh and the only fish that I know is a no go is rainbow fish. SO doesnt like the shape.

Thank you guys in advance! I am actually excited abotu this. Oh substrate will most likely be pea sized smooth river stone pebbles.

what about a biotope of just south american fish? you could add corydoras- they are little catfish type fish that hang out at the bottom of the tank and they come in many colors.
